It’s been remodeled and family owned and dog friendly for well behaved pups. We loved the full fridge and microwave option but it’s so close to the ocean and all the restaurants. Great place to stay!! Fantastic and knowledgeable service as well! ##### Larisa Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yasmine Dec 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean, and the staff were super sweet and accommodating ##### Yasmine Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Dec 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely property in a lovely neighborhood.

It could have used a bit more storage for clothes but other than that it was perfect 👌 Thank you 😊 to the staff for making it a memorable trip. Will definitely be back. ##### Desiree Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yesenia Dec 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a wonderful experience staying at the Franciscan. Ben welcomed us on a Saturday everning, as we drove in from being in Solvang, all day. He was welcoming, so informative with things we could do in Santa Barbara and gave us all the details that would make our stay even better. The morning breakfast was the cherry on top. Absolutely staying here again and recommended- highly. ##### Yesenia Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia Dec 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff is amazing! Very professional and very kind. Ben at the front desk is outstanding and very knowledgeable for tourism and places to see around SB. Most pools at Hotels are not heated. The pool was amazing with the temperature being perfect! Rooms are clean and very nice. Amenities are excellent! ##### Cynthia Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful hotel perfectly located in downtown Santa Barbara. ##### Jeff Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hootan Dec 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Decent price for the location, not a lot of frills or thrills just a clean room and comfortable beds. Very simple rooms with not a lot of furniture or extras. Location is ideal to walk everywhere near the shops and harbor and pier. They should add that their pool is heated because we would have brought Boardshorts had it been advertised. ##### Hootan Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, nice boutique hotel ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property was very beautiful and had excellent staff. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### damien Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super pleasant and really clean and a hop and a skip to the beach ##### damien Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### VICTOR Nov 11, 2025 Spotless room. CJ did a great job checking me in and upgrading my room. Ben was quite welcoming and attentive. ##### VICTOR Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica Dec 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Simple, clean & safe! Outside was well maintained with vegetation & clean grounds. Front desk staff was friendly & helpful with questions (how to use tv). Rooms were super clean, loved the all white bedding. Room was furnished with a queen size bed, two nightstands, a small table and two chairs. In the closet you could find an ironing board, iron, hairdryer & a safe. The bathroom was stocked with shower wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion & hand soap. The bedding was super comfy. My only critique was the bed’s lack of motion-isolation—my husband would get up & I’d instantly wake up with the movement. Breakfast is served from 7:30-9:30am—eggs, bagels, cream cheese, sausage, cereal, bacon & coffee. The location was perfect!!! Everything is within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Monica Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne Oct 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely experience.

Excellent staff. ##### juan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ishita Dec 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I don't know if there is a glitch with Expedia but the room types displayed on Expedia do not match the actual room types in the hotel. I thought I had booked a suite with one queen and one full bed but the booking on their end showed only one bed. The hotel was able to accommodate us with a room with a pullout couch, and it was just one night, but it was still a problem. Anyway, the bathroom was especially nice and they actually had complimentary breakfast so it worked out. Otherwise, I would've been upset about paying more for a lesser room. Again, no issues with the property, but the listing on Expedia is misleading (room types and free breakfast availability). ##### Ishita Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nichol Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Franciscan was amazing!
